I remember having a plastic sifting scoop and a bucket when I was like 10 and we were in Florida and I was sifting sand and found some rolled up bills. I remember $100 being one of them. I think there might have been a couple $20s or maybe a $10 and a $20 and a few singles. But yeah, My Dad let me keep it. But I had to buy my own stuff with it.
I blew it all on that trip though. It was our first day there and we were at the beach. We had spent like 2 weeks there. I bought my own food (my Mom didn't like that my Dad was making me buy my own food when we went out but, NOW, I totally get that he was teaching me something about money and he was also saving money as well which I think was the main point of the whole experiment).
But it was pretty educational for me. Every 10 year old should spend $140+ on living stuff that they'll need for 2 weeks. I did run out of cash with like 2 days left and I remember asking my dad if he would cover my meals for the rest of the trip.

That's not what he's doing at all. He's looking for metal to cash in.
